InsightiGen: a versatile tool to generate insight for an academic systematic literature review

Abstract

A comprehensive literature review has always been an essential first step of every meaningful research. In recent years, however, the availability of a vast amount of information in both open-access and subscription-based literature in every field has made it difficult, if not impossible, to be certain about the comprehensiveness of one's survey. This subsequently can lead to reviewers' questioning of the novelties of the research directions proposed, regardless of the quality of the actual work presented. In this situation, statistics derived from the published literature data can provide valuable quantitative and visual information about research trends, knowledge gaps, and research networks and hubs in different fields. Our tool provides an automatic and rapid way of generating insight for systematic reviews in any research area.
